I'm a Star Alliance Gold but I am departing HEL on a Sunday morning on a coach ticket on Finnair to BER.

So I guess I couldn't use either lounge, since it's not a Star Alliance flight.

Does anyone know which terminal Finnair flies out of? Maybe it doesn't matter if the terminals are close together. Will be taking the train probably from central Helsinki.
If you have Priority Pass, you can use the Aspire Lounges located at gates 13 and 27. A one time pass is about $45. The Finnair Lounge can be accessed if you buy a similarly priced pass online. I guarantee you it is not worth it unless you plan to recoup the money on beer and/or cheap liquor.

However, what could be worth it is upgrading the HEL-BER segment to Business Class. The Finnair app sometimes gives you reasonably priced offers $40-$80 and gives you all regular perks when flying J.
